Highlights

City guidelines

Welcome to Bucharest!

Bucharest is undoubtedly Europeís best kept secret. Restaurants, bars, art galleries
and museums are now springing up on every corner. Travellers are steadily
discovering this little gem of a city and seeking out Bucharestís hidden character.
Its treasures are well worth hunting for and visitors will find in their quest a place
of warmth and spirit.

As one of Europeís most up and coming destinations, Bucharest has had to react quickly
to its new found status. As a result, there are a bevy of recently opened venues to eat,
drink, shop, club and sleep. Not only this, but standards are high and local residents
have come to expect the best.

From Piata Universitatii most sights of interest are easily accessible and equally the
nearby Calea Victoriei is a great starting point for shopping particularly. These two
landmarks constitute the central Bucharest area where many of the most well-known restaurants
and bars are situated. Walking in this part of the city is the best way to see Bucharest.

Parliament Palace

Built during Ceausescuís regime, the Palace of Parliament is Romaniaís most famous building.
A public tour of the opulent staircases and chandelier-filled rooms offers a fascinating insight.

Arch of Triumph

Similar to its Paris namesake, Bucharestís Triumphal Arch remembers Romaniaís Great War soldiers
and its reunification in 1918. Initially the arch was built of wood in 1922, and then finished in
Deva granite in 1936.

Lipscani District

Lipscani, Bucharestís historic centre, retains an old town charm which is almost irresistible!
It is located between Calea Victoriei, Blvd. Bratianu, Blvd. Regina Elisabeta and the
Dambovita River and its collection of winding streets boasts antique markets, bric-a-brac
spilling out from tiny boutiques and some of the cityís most appealing restaurants and bars.

National Art Museum

Romaniaís most impressive art collection is displayed in this sprawling Royal Palace (National Art Museum).
Take in works by Rembrandt and El Greco, among a host of European works.

University Square

In addition to being the centre for Bucharestís intellectual and political events and the
most popular meeting place in Bucharest, the University Sqare has a dramatic history.
During the 1989 revolution some of Romaniaís fiercest fighting took place here.
Close by are also the University of Bucharestís School of Architecture, the National Theatre,
the Coltea Hospital and the Sutu Palace (History Museum).

Whilst University Square saw some of the darkest days of Ceausescuís regime, events at Revolution Sqare
heralded the beginning of a new age. This building now houses the Senate.
Close by are the former Royal Palace, now home to the National Art Museum, the Romanian Athenaeum
and the Athenee Palace Hotel. Also the Kretzulescu Church.
